It also happens to be a great place to start when choosing complimentary wines and cheeses.

Compared to chardonnay, sauvignon blanc is generally lighter with more herbaceous and acidic flavors (viaHalleck Vineyard).

Rieslings can also be dry to semi-dry which would pair well with Camembert or brie.

Experiment with different combinations and make a note of what you like the most.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that the taste is what really matters.
